contents Global South Perspectives on International Relations: new frameworks for Transboundary Water Analysis Isabela Battistello Espindola Maria Luísa Telarolli de Almeida Leite Relaciones Internacionales Global south Hydropolitics International relations International Relations (IR) are an interdisciplinary field of study; however, mainstream IR possesses a Western and North-centric focus that neglects or unequivocally reflects Global South perspectives and realities. Global events, including those related to transboundary water relations, are told from a Western and North perspective. That does not provide enough knowledge to understand developments occurring in the Global South, understood here as less economically developed countries, comprising a variety of states with diverse levels of economic, cultural, and political influence in the international order. In this sense, the article exposes some Latin American IR thinking, to offer new contributions to the process of theorizing transboundary water relations and broaden the field of view within IR and transboundary water. Following a qualitative methodology, based on the bibliographic revision of authors from the Global South in IR and hydropolitics, the paper argues that it is necessary to incorporate non-Western and non-Northern actors and thinking to explore how different actors challenge, support, and shape global and regional hydropolitics. The paper calls for more attention to how the analytical framework on transboundary water interactions can include Global South perspectives. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research and policy discussions. 2022 artículo científico 2178-8839 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=744181030004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7441 Conjuntura Austral application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Conjuntura Austral (Brasil) Num.61 Vol.13
